Then with Uncle Joe Cannon ,oin( about Keats' “Adonais” the lot of the audi- be much more cheerful than it is at Campaign Claims and Cold Facts. Our democratic frienas are filling the air with impudent assertions and extravagant claims as to what they have done for the farmer and work- ingman. If the party now in power is willing to charge itself with having brought about the war in Europe and thus produced the abnormal con- ditions that prevail for the moment, it may with some reason assume to be responsible for the alleged “prosperity” of which it boasts. But we wonder if people have forgotten the situation that prevailed a little over a year ago, before the flood of money for munitions and war supplies over- whelmed the country? In January, 1915, 325,000 men stood in bread lines in New York City, and slept in police stations, ferry depots and wherever shelter could be had. A like tale is true of every large city in the United States. In no year of our history were so many men idle because no employment could be had, and that was the first fruits of democratic free trade legislation. Do the democrats expect to ride into office again on the trail of the “war brides?” Our demo- cratic senator pleaded in congress and through his newspaper for an embargo on arms and all war supplies. Now he does a somersault, and just as loudly boasts of the “prosperity” that has deluged the country, and of his share in bringing it about. If his counsel had prevailed, and meas- ures he advocated had been adopted, the bread lines of the country would be much longer than they were, soup houses and “hotels de gink” would be established all over the land, and hunger would stalk, because the great factories would not be turning out goods to'be sold at fancy prices to warring Europe, This is not the first instance of democratic effrontery in an endeavor to substitute empty claims for cold facts. Fooling the home folks is not so easy as it was, and records only a year old are not to be wiped out so readily. Democratic legislation is chargeable for the present industrial activity in about the same degree as it is for the crop shortage, and no further. The Electric Light Compromise. The local public, and especially the users of electric light, seem to have all the best of it in the final compromise of the long-dfawn conten- tion between the city and the lighting company by which a maximum rate of six cents per kilo- watt hour rate is to be effective with the begin- ning of the year. This is a greater reduction that it was thought the company could be prevailed upon to accept without a last-ditch fight and the concession in the way of a limited street lighting contract at figures really better than what the city is now paying at least threatens no serious disadvantage to the taxpayers. Naturally the compromise will make the demand for a municipally-owned light- ing plant less acute. That is what the company wants to ward off or defer, but it really puts no insuperable obstacle in the way of reviving the city plant scheme later should it promise any- thing better than the proposed adjustment with its low meter rate will give us. If the compromise produces peace and progress, instead of friction and stagnation, in the relations between the city and this public service corporation, it will prove to be a real step forw: Exports and the Hereafter. Exports from"fl;e United States for August reached a new high mark, and a new figure for trade balance in our favor was also established by the transactions of that month. The imports, though, remain at an unhusually high figure, al- most two hundred millions. This; on the surface, suggests that our foreign trade is in magnificent circumstance just now. Deeper thought will in- evitably bring into consideration the future. We have no reason to thipk the present inflation will continue longer than until peace is declared in Europe, After that we may be assured a change will come. Two reasons for this are plain. First, the export trade of the United States is abnormal. It consists chiefly of shipments to Europe, and to four countries now engaged in war. Second, at least three great exporting nations of Europe, Germany, Belgium and France, are kept out of the world markets by the war. This cannot be taken as proof that they are not to be reckoned with as manufacturers and exporters. On the contrary, the factories and workshops. of these countries are busier today than ever, better equipped, and the industrial organization is de- veloped to even a higher degree of efficiency than that which made the world marvel before the war, The United States must be prepared to meet this competition as soon as the war is over, and trade restored to normal conditions. It is not only in the competitive market that these nations will seek customers, but in the United States, the most attractive of all markets. Does anyone be- lieve the United States can maintain its standing as an exporter against the combined opposition of Europe, and at the same time retain control of its home market, if the democratic doctrine of free trade prevails? It may serve to emphasize the summing up of the situation, if emphasis were needed, to state that on September 20, 1916, the deficit in the United States treasury account, for the fiscal year that began on July 1, was $53,725536.55 For the first twenty days of September alone the deficit in revenue was $21,609,486.67. In other words, with the greatest foreign trade ever recorded for any country the business of the United States is falling behind at this time at the rate of a million dollars a day under the adminis- tration of the democratic party. Filling the Air With Fright, For some unaccountable reason, Sunday ap- pears to have been selected for exhibiting the powers of aircraft when turned to destruction, Those reported from England and the continent as having been indulged to start the present weck are the most extensive, as well as the most spec- tacular, of the war. From the magnitude of the operations one may easily deduce the conclusion that these operations represent the desperation with which the struggle is now being pressed. It is hard to believe, though, that the ultimate out- come of the war will be seriously affected by demonstrations in which only noncombatants are the victims. The popular conception of war is @ struggle between armed forces, not wanton dropping of huge charges of high explosives on defenseless homes, where women and children and aged or disabled men are to be found. So far as such proceedings can influnce the progress of the war is concerned, they seem utterly futile. It is too late for either side to gain anything by efforts to spread terror. If Wilson money is going a-begging on the betting boards anywhere, it must be only be- cause it is begging for too long odds. THE BE OMAHA, TUESDAY, Why Mr. Hughes Should Be Elected By Arthur Capper, Governor of K Kansas folk, as a rule, are no longer deeply agitated over mere party success. At least, they don't look upon that as the chief end and aim of | existence. They are just as loyal to fundamental olitical principles as their fathers were, but they Eavc pretty generally decided that clap-trap and red-fire and demagogic rant do not constitute patriotism. I am not reasons why is the way we feel about it in Kansas: B We are going to give Hughes a plurality in our state of close to 100,000 votes. . And we know why we are going to do it. In the first place, Kansas folks are morc interested in results than in any fine-spun theories about government. They want to get things done, They want for president of the United States not merely a disciple of Hamilton or of Jef- ferson—not merely a follower of Cleveland or of McKinley—but a'man who can fill the job. We think this is particularly important for the next four years. We're not getting together and passing resolutions that “view with alarm” or that “despair of the republic” or anything like that, but we do know that this nation has a lot of new ground to break in the immediate future, and we want a man on the job who knows what we want and whd knows what he wants and who will stay put. We want a man who will stand hitched with- out getting the balking habit. We want a man who has insight and fore- sight—rather than hindsight, as we say. A man of keen perception, of courage, of de- termination; a man whom Mexico and the allies and Germany and the rest of the world will hear the first time he speaks. A man who will keep us out of war without giving us the wobbles; a man who will main- tain peace and retain honor and respect. In short, we want a man big enough for the job— the biggest job in the world, And we've looked the field over and the man for us is Hughes. oing to attempt to tell all the We can't help thinking of the new problems and the new dangers that the next few years will bring. Our foreign relations resulting from our new place among the nations; our domestic problems—always complicated, but made a hun- dred-fold more complex by the social and economic revolutions in Europe—will bring situa- tions as serious as any faced by Washington or Lincoln. The high-tide of prosperity, due en- tirely to the debauch of barbarity in Europe, will recede. The Kansas farmer knows where his good prices come from, and he knows they are not due to any act of the present adminis- tration, What when the crash comes? We realize that we must prepare industrially and economically for that time. And the more we look at the democratic administration the less we're inclined to trust to it the job of preparing. Its bungled tariff law, its burlesque tariff com- mission, its $8,000,000-a-day appropriations, its ork-barrel wallow, its 30,000 new offices, its groken pledges, its rape of the civil service law and its vacillating policies on every important issue, do not appeal to the people of Kansas. On the other hand, Hughes has never been found wanting in courage or decision. He was nominated by the people, by the rank and file, because they trusted him and wanted him. And for the same reason he will be elected. The people ‘know that they know and the world knows where tq find him. I = The Cgfi:{ lfiiagam | The cost of presérving the greater part of Niagara as a spectacle, instead of utilizing all its energy for industrial purposes, is estimated by a writer in Engineering ameontracting at $150 per look, for every visitor who sees the falls. This, he thinks, is rather high, even for such a noble spectacle, and he joins the writer lately quoted in these columns in suggesting that the water be “turned on” for tourists for a brief period daily and run through turbines the rest of the time. Says this writer: “In round numbers, 3,000,000 horse-power of energy flows to waste at Niagara.| At least it would be called waste were it not for the fact that about 1,000,000 people view it annually. This great natural moving picture costs society the value of three annual horse-power per ‘seat’ at the show. If, then, we ascertain thé value of a horse-power of water-power we shall know what it costs society to furnish each visitant one good look at Niagara Falls, “Appraisals of water-power values have ranged from nil to more than $100 per horse-power. Without going into a careful calculation it may be conservatively estimated that Niagara Falls power is worth to society fully $50 per horse- power per annum. It follows, then, that each ob- server is indebted to society for $150 every time ae visits the great falls. “Might not the million annual visitors to this greatest of cataracts secure their thrills at less than $150 per look? Could it not be arranged that for, say, one hour. each day the entire volume of water be allowed to flow over the great brink, and for the remaining twenty-three hours let it run through shafts and tunnels upon turbines? This would bring the cost of a look at the falls down to about $7—the price of three theater tickets in- stead of the price of six suits of clothes. “But, some one may urge, Who would come hundreds of miles just for one hour's pleasure? Do this thing that you propose and the audience will stay away. Hardly, for the gorge itself is a royal vision at all times, and then if there be those who insist upon a continuous performance of the falls themselves, why not give it to them in a grand amphitheater where a screen 100 feet long would picture the ‘roaring waters’ in all save the roar. “Jesting aside, it is a very high price, a price unnecessarily high, that Canada and America are paying for trips to Niagara Falls. Let us have a little real social engineering brought to bear on this esthetic-economic problem and we shall, without doubt, find a way to utilize nearly all the power now wasted at Niagara, yet not deprive mankind of its heritage of beauty and grandeur.” People and Events The Russian state scepter is of solid gold and ornamented with upward of 500 rubies, emeralds and diamonds.

But it does not meet the approval of the American Society of Professors of Dancing, which hiber- nates in New York.

JENNIE 8. LAIRD, D. O. Stenography as a University Course. Fremont, Neh, Sept. 28.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 notice an article written by Frank L. Haller, regent of the University of Nebraska, to Ran- dall K. Brown, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of - the Omaha Commercial club, in regard to the resolution requesting that typewriting and shorthand be added to the course of study or the school of commerce of the state university, passed by the executive committee of the club. Mr. Haller leaves the impression that this resolution was passed upon the snap Jjudgment of the committee and with- out earnest consideration. On the contrary it was passed after weeks of consideration, and Mr. Haller knows that men very prominent in the af- fairs of the club have been agitating | this for months. He furthermore in- sults the intelligence of the small com- mercial clubs of the state and the state conventions that passed this resolu- tion, in stating that this is a one-man proposition. I attend these conven- tions at times myself and venture the assertion that the percentage of col- lege men and men vitally interested in colleges is greater than in any other convention except those devoted to professional subjects and it is my im- pression that they usually know about what they want without being so in- formed by a man who gets his chief view of the needs of the people over a mahogany-topped desk. The engineering college at the uni- versity gives a detailed technical train- ing, sd does the College of Agricul- ture, The school of commerce does not. Does Mr. Haller contend that it is more elementary to learn to write a typewriter than to learn to carry a pot of molten. iron around in the en- gineering school or fire a forge and wield a sledge or make a shirtwaist or boil potatoes ip the College of Agricul- ture? Mr. Haller says that typewriting and shorthand is taught in the University Teacher’s high school. True, but what adult university student will go there and study it without credits and in company with immature boys and In-| stead of materia medica the osteopath | cours e t is that typewriting and shorthand be made a very stringent course and that it only be included in the course of study of the school of commerce and that no student be al- lowed to register for same until his senjor year in the university. Neither myself nor any other graduate of the university desires to make a high school or a business college out of the university and we think that the above plan prevents this. Mr. Haller studied stenography while attending the university, he be- ing so mentally equipped, but myself and hundreds of others had to study it for a year hefore entering college, land I find in looking over my profes- sion, that of the law, that typewrit- | ing and spelling buy more bread and butter than the faculty of measuring the distance to Mars or the study of New Testament Greek.
